Tomorrow the PM asks to be getting push notifications to some internal admin app instead of emails. Then a day later he wants his deputee to be getting emails as well. How easy would it be to modify the sg.sendmail to comply? How easy would it be via the pp interface?

This sounds great, thanks for the idea. It's like adding rapportive to it.

I agree the home page is still a bit sketchy. Sign up though and you land on a more detailed page explaining the API usage.

paid subscribers? honestly not yet. Just have a few trials out of some tiny marketing efforts, nothing serious. If this goes to HN front page though then we can consider this launch.

I admit the title is a little scoopy but it needs to grab attention. As for identifying celebrity signups, if they sign up via facebook for instance, you can quickly count their followers count for instance and alert if it's >X.

Whats the added value of sendgrid over gmail api? of zencoder over ffmpeg? you can do everything on your own, of course. All depends on your abilities and resources. This is something I found myself doing in many apps, and thought to spin it off to a separate and independent service for the joy of others. It can save them from [usually] ugly coding, it adds a central and single place of mngmt for all this notification management, both for events and for recipients. IMO its useful and worth it but I'm of course totally biased.

Because it's harder to enforce on a team whereas a central service (also as a 2nd security layer) deals with it on behalf of the team/org

Because we need your email and dont want to take it from GitHub because we may span to gitlab, bitbucket etc

that said I will try to fix everything you mention and make it more comfortable for new ppl to join, thx for the feedback!

It's a product of Tikal Lab, which is a unit in http://tikalk.com

We will add a privacy policy, didn't even notice we don't have one, it's just launching...

If GitMonkey has your key on record - it means we're not the only ones having it. You should revoke it immediately. So even if our db is breached, it should only contain a list of useless revoked keys.

I wonder if they scan GH periodically, or simply see abnormal action on these accounts that are accessed by the exposed keys.

There are git hooks that u can run locally, but think as a manager of an R&D team of 10-20 developers. You need to make it centralised.

Github does this actually but only from github access tokens generated from their API... if you generate an oauth access token and commit it, they will automatically revoke it.

no plans for that yet but now that you raised the point...

the changelog is a link to the changelog or history.md in the github repo

A good thought. It sends an email on each upgrade, however in my experience it doesn't happen SO often, tops two-three times a day, depends of course on the volume of packages you use. But it's a good idea to have a daily digest, thanks for that.

All the time. Even if you use a specific version, wouldn't you like to be in the know about the latest version, so you may consider upgrading?

not at all. didn't even know it existed...

Yes it does. This is btw why we ask for the "repo" permission and not only for "public-repo" permission.

Oh, I see. I bet you're looking at the "open tasks" while in the "clients dashboard"... to grab tasks and work on them you need to get to the "developers" perspective, which is done by hovering on your profile image on the top-left and a menu will appear ...

Many tasks had been grabbed in the last 2 hours since this post is on HN front page, however I still see several available tasks. Do you see it totally empty (which implies a bug) or by empty do you mean "just a few"?

That's because we can code but can't design. So we take ready made themes and we don't pay attention that they have scrolling problems...

I totally hear ya. But then would you sign up if it had a huge list of permissions to begin with? I'm really curious, not just rhetorical.

Thanks!

nice idea.

I agree. I assume however that on average there's enough open source pushed for each developer on github. Didn't see any stats or whatever, just a hunch feeling I got from years of using this platform.

As for the name... I replied to another comment. Please ctrl+f "GigHub" on this page to find it :)

You're right. I didn't think of that. Need to make sure payout doesn't change while task is grabbed.
